Great experience! Mr Pasha was an excellent tour guide and good communication before the actual tour. I definitely recommend Desert Thrill.

Frank Y

This tour was a great way to see the highlights of Abu Dhabi. Our tour guide/driver, Jaiswal, was prompt and highly organized and was very helpful in helping us take that “perfect” photo. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is stunning. The stop in the date market was a perfect place to pick up some treats to take home. The timing at each photo stop was just right to enjoy the setting and views. This was a very memorable experience.

Jaiswal made it an unforgettable tour! Everything was perfectly arranged from the breathtaking Mosque visit in Abu Dhabi Tour to thrilling quad rides, a camel ride, and a desert SUV adventure back in Dubai. There was an extensive buffet for BBQ, and the night ended with dancing in the belly. Long, but fantastic day, highly recommended!

Jabed Monju was our tour guide and was extremely polite and helpful and knowledgeable about the history of both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. He drove us on a guided tour all around Abu Dhabi’s main sights and at each place explained the history behind the place. He was very helpful with my elderly Mom and pushed her wheelchair wherever we stopped to see the sights. Overall we are very very pleased with the knowledge and comfort that Jabed provided us and would highly recommend this tour guide and this half day city Abu Dhabi tour to get a comfortable, no-hassle introduction to the main sights of the grand city of Abu Dhabi that has so much to offer visitors and tourists.

My family went to a Desert Safari Tour in Dubai. It was the most amazing trip and everything was top-notch. Mr Nadeem represented this company very well. He puts us in high priority and makes us feel very special. His boss was even there to help accommodate the tourists and to make sure everyone has a great experience. The Dune Bashing, Camel Ride, Quad bike and dinner were incredible. we highly recommend it.

Sami Ullah is an excellent tour guide, very attentive and dedicated. Our tour to Abu Dhabi and Dubai Safari Desert was amazing and unforgettable. Thank you for the fantastic experience!

A tip: women must have their entire body covered to enter to the Mosque, including arms and head.
